seems like its missing a lot of stuff in the engine bay. the double rear-spoiler's kinda goofy too. but a f20 swap is pretty crazy.

I wonder if that car is also rear wheel drive. One way or the other that swap looks like an incredibly hard extremely custom job.

Yes its RWD... look at the engn positioning... The doubel rear spilers prolly good to help keep that extra HP on the rear wheels

im guessing definitely no A/C (since he also shaved the a/c vents inside), and it dont look like theres power steering in there. maybe i just dont see it. thats probably a bitch to drive then.

Wow, still very nice even if it doesn't have A/C or power steering. Is that car from Canada?

I thought FF cars can't take a FR engine though~
So if this guy can put S2000 engine in a civic, can we put it in our civic?

I normally just keep my mouth shut when I see a car that looks ugly. But this time I can't.

That is the most god awful ugly POS I have ever seen in my entire life. I don't care if it has an F20C in it - you could not pay me to drive that monstrosity.

neither spolier (MAYBE the top one A LITTLE) is creating any downforce.

It would be sweet to swap the S2k motor into a old S800.

There is a misconception that more gears will result in lower RPM's in cruising and thus better mileage. This is not the case - 6th gear on an RSX-S tranny at 75 mph is still pushing close to 3500 rpm. 65-70 mph in 6th on an RSX-S tranny is pushing 3000 rpm. This is virtually the same as the overdrive gear (5th) of a 7th gen.

A 6-speed tranny gives you shorter gearing and thus better acceleration. It is not used to increase gas mileage.

Awesome engine with an ugly as all hell "look at me" bodykit, wheels, and wing(s). Now THAT'S the antithesis of a sleeper.
